Nearly 240 years ago, our founding fathers declared our national independence from Great Britain. This 4th of July, let's declare our independence from the meat industry.

More than 60 percent of U.S. agricultural subsidies pay for meat, dairy, and egg production. Fresh fruit and vegetable farmers receive less than one percent of the total. It's time to declare our independence by stopping these subsidies.

The members of VFW Post 5710 and Ladies Auxiliary in Shepherdsville would like to thank the Blue Lick Youth Baseball team members and others who helped place 2,400 American flags on the graves of veterans. The flags were placed on the gravesites at Highland Memory Gardens in Mount Washington in honor of Memorial Day.
